Member Meetup: Advocating for plain language during organization change and opposition
27 Jan 2026 | 1:30 – 3 pm EST.
Join fellow Center members to share best practices advocating for plain language during organization change and opposition.
Change is constant in any organization. Writing culture, policies, and norms are often reviewed and sometimes directly challenged as new leadership takes charge. This is equally true during transition periods without dedicated leadership where some may neglect to follow plain language principals.
Whether you are in the private or public sector, we want to hear from you about the best ways to advocate for plain language in challenging times. We’ll have small group breakout discussions to share success stories of overcoming resistance and ensuring plain language remains a priority.
Members will receive an email invitation about a month before the Meetup.

Listening to the Legends: Pioneers of Plain Language
26 February 2026 Webinar: 1 - 2:30 pm EST
This panel brings together leaders who helped shape the plain language movement. They’ve spent decades applying, advancing, and advocating for clear communication across government, law, design, standards, and organizations.
This is not a formal training. Instead, it’s a rare chance to be in the room with these pioneers—to hear their stories, learn from their experiences, and reflect on where the movement has been and where it’s going.
More details and registration information are coming soon.
Please save the date. We hope you’ll join the conversation!
